[WRC] Rallye Monte Carlo 2021

[mknight]

Colin Clark was surprisingly spot on with his driver ratings. Especially giving 2/10 to Greensmith was quite surprising.

Compared to Monza the "accuracy" of the ratings is clearly an improvement (well hard to do worse than at Monza).

The only one I have a bit of issue with is Sordo 7/10. Considering how he did in Monza on changing surfaces and even in the mountains and that he said he aims to fight for win I'd rate it around 5/10.

Who are you to tell me what I should watch?

He simply says he doesn't agree with you. Grow up and stop beating a dead horse.

Well unlike Monza, Sordo didn't do the event since 2018, and you have to have confidence in yourself, car and tyres to make it to the podium, and after Tanak's DNF I'm guessing he was under strict orders not to push and make it to the finish.

I think it was Katsuta who nearly did the same on all live.

I think it was Katsuta who nearly did the same on all live.

I think it was Gus who nearly parked into the garage.

He's not saying he doesn't agree. He's being positively rude saying 'go watch rallycross'. Totally agree with doubled 1978 that the event could have been much better if Tanak was in the fight.
So what if this has occurred once in a blue moon - the fact is it did happen and there have been some decent suggestions regarding how it could have been avoided.
Yes, the road sections are part of the game, but it's also a team sport, so why not allow one crew to help another from the same team?
Telling someone to go watch another sport because they are trying to suggest a scenario where a top driver could stay in the event is a bit shit to say the least.

I thought the ratings were fair also, maybe someone has had a word!

Thinking the same thing myself. Surely, he can only dine out on 'I'm just having a laugh with my ratings / articles / opinions / general rally knowledge' before someone starts asking questions.

A forum member posted he thinks Clarke will be gone from Dirtfish before the year end... I wouldn't be surprised at all.

Tänak would have been out of the fight anyway with the punctures, which didn't have anything to do with the liaison rules. Most likely he wouldn't have made it to top ten. And like I suggested earlier, him continuing would have resulted in a "tyre-saving theatre" for Sunday morning. These things happen and it's a part of the sport, we just have to accept it.
